- Interview with Deep-pression
Deep-pression    was      from      Poland,     Start  at  2006 with  Morbid,   Trist,    Rh- and    . . .    . This interview offer to all Iranian Black Metal fans.

 

Misty-Graveyard : Hails to RH and Morbid. To begin with, please tell us about your activities in different bands such as Deep-Pression. (RH & Morbid)
Morbid : Well I must start that that normally I don't like to do these type of things...but I guess for an underground zine it wouldn't hurt....first off I will say that I never mention activities that happen in any projects that I am involved with...that's just how I am.....I don't know if RH- has a different opinion on it but...we work silently...
RH-: first of all I'm leader of Deep-pression. for a 2nd I'm member of depressive rock band called COLD FLOOR TO EMBRACE (project of MvK), I write lyrics for it , the name is imagined by me and i made all the visualisations. 3rd project imp in is TRANSITUS MORTALIS (project of Heirdrain) where I do exacly the same as in Cold Floor but in a way of black metal. Last project im in is split up and it was called INNERLESS SKIN ON A WATER (my dead project), depressive minimalistic electronics with concept of sea, mists, water...and finally i have some ideas with Grav of Transitus Mortalis to make something in style of Tom Waits mixed with black metal ideas and some shitty drunken music...the name of it is TOMB N ROSES but we just have 2 rehearsals nothing else, and no stuff recorded yet... in plans we have with Morbid and other musician another project but it’s just conception...not specified yet...for sure black metal...

Misty-Graveyard : You are known as picture designer and lyrics writer in Deep-Pression band. Do you have any other activity in this band? And as a person who works in Deep-Pression, how do you see the band? (RH)
RH- : Yes I make ambience too after Trist left DP and some vocals...Morbid wants me to do more vocals but I'm not sure of it at all. How I see the band? I don't see DP as a band. It’s project. Not side project or something but pure project. We live in other countries, far away, we never met in real life, we drink beer to the screen sometimes only! So it’s just project with changing squad. Nothing is sure in DP but me...

Misty-Graveyard :  I’d like to talk a bit about composing music. Morbid as guitarist, Hetre as vocalist and guitarist, and M.v.K as bass player. Is there any other person who participates directly in making music? Will Trist start his activity in Deep-Pression again? (Morbid )
Morbid : I will not give out any information that is not even been decided yet....ask RH-...
RH- : it wasn't question to me but Morbid wants me to answer. No problem. First of all i hope that Trist will join us on 3rd album in 2008, nothing is certain but I talk with Trist about his return to DP. I participate in music but in different way ‘cos the final decision is mine. Morbid often does things as I haven't imagined but sometimes he does such things like “deep journey down” and then I'm in shock – “the guy understood lyric even more than me!!”. MvK hasn't played in Deep-pression at all by now but I hope it will change in 2008. Hetre is no more member of DP but maybe one day we will cross our ways again. I hope so. he's great man. We have 2 guests also for intros. Vrangsinn on “deep journey” and Mura Hachigu, unreleased track yet. My friend wrote one lyric as well for DP, but it’s not used yet. That’s all I think...

Misty-Graveyard : In my opinion Deep-Pression is one of the greatest bands. Please tell us about your music structure. Each band members are from different countries. In this case, please explain how you record and release your music. ( Morbid)
Morbid : We record our parts in DP and we send them to each other and mix it in...pretty simple..

Misty-Graveyard : How does choosing or making the albums cover pictures relate to specific aspects? Are pictures based on
album’s structure or it’s just your personal thoughts? (RH)
RH- : it depends. Each album is different and the same is with my ideas. When I have music, good title and some ideas of leader I can do something like mirage. Such covers are the best. When we connect each other with members of bands in one strong idea. Like the ones I did for LIK, TRIST, UNDERJORDISKA, CONTAGIION or HAPPY DAYS. Sometimes i have requests for letting using a cover that is on my site. Sometimes I agree. It was when I did cover for BLUTVIAL from England...and finally sometimes my works are stolen... hehe it’s the worst cooperation for me. But I caught all thieves by now (3 they were heh)

Misty-Graveyard : Tell us about your own influences and beliefs. (RH & Morbid )
Morbid : You must really get to know me for me to even speak my mind about things....and so far only RH- is the only man who knows......not to be offensive to anyone but I see no point in saying words that fall on Def ears...
RH- : my influences: nature- the place I live full of woods and Baltic sea, strong winds (I hate them) and sad poor people...vast areas of misanthropy believe me... what else: dark aspects of living, self-destruction, dualism of a mind, hatred and love and feelings generally, dark visions about endless trips to the end of the world and beyond, dreams... nihilism... I'm very weak in my believes but I believe that I wont give a fuck!

Misty-Graveyard : In your opinion, what is an artist’s mission? (RH & Morbid )
Morbid : There is no mission....just someone who plays music from his fucking heart...
RH- : I agree, no mission, I don't want people to cut their hands after listening to DP. I want them to think twice or more about some dark aspects, I want them to feel loneliness and pain that comes from DP but I'm not here to tell the others what to do. I'm just glad when someone interesting respects what we do.

Misty-Graveyard : In  your  lyrics,  there  is  an  obvious  aim  which  regards  to  failure  and  falling. Is  it  based  on  depression and vanity  or  it’s  inspired  by  a  new  theorem? Is   it   true   that    you     mention    deep     tranquility,  calmness, and   serenity  in  your  lyrics? (RH)
RH-: well there is no aim actually in my lyrics. They are aimless and this is what makes them a vortex. They are just chaos spelled in poetry and disillusion. Im not inspired by any new theories. I think all is quite old. Elder then me... yes deep tranquility, calmness  and  serenity  is  what I'm looking for  finding  mostly  restless  feelings... if  my  lyrics  are  about  them? I don't  know...maybe a  bit  sometimes...

Misty-Graveyard : In our previous interview, it was said that Deep-Pression does not have any official sponsor or label. Will you continue this way for your future works? Did Deep Journey Down release with the same situation? (RH)
RH- : Deep-pression has actually 2 labels: Insikt Prod in Sweden and Misanthropia VII:XIV in Portugal. But mostly we put our tracks on myspace for free listening... one day all will be released. By now they are 100 copies of tape “i walk the life in depression”... situation is changing all the time... we have plans with releasing DP in us, or i have such plans. But at the beginning it will be cdr ...and im not sure yet...i wish cd or vinyl You know...

Misty-Graveyard : In August 2007, an album named as 0RH was released. I’d like you to explain about this album. It says that the album was a duet between 0RH and Morbid. The lyrics were all about an old despair, pain, and the blood’s deliverance from veins. Explain the influences, and at the end, what are your thoughts behind the name 0RH? (RH)
RH- : first of all it’s single. Actually 2nd single. Short track mostly screamed. All music and vocals on it are made by Morbid. Idea , lyrics and artwork are mine. Lyrics are about the curse that runs the blood Type 0 negative (0Rh-). Only small % of people of the world has this type of blood and some stories says very strange and horrible things... it’s long theme to talk about. But people with 0Rh- are different... they seek for something that they don't know... usually they have emotional problems , suicidal attempts and dream of distances, coldness, emptiness... I think I could write 2 albums about this type of blood  but  one  short  and  totally  painful  bm  track is  perfect  also.  Such  kind  of  blood  runs  my  veins  so  I'm  interested  in  it  even more... find  some  informations  in  web... it’s  really  mystery  thing. And  the  most  interesting  are  biological  aspects  of  blood 0Rh- ...

Misty-Graveyard : What are your favorite bands, including Persian bands, and in general what is your idea about Persian Black Metal. What do you think about your fans who live in Persia? (RH & Morbid)
Morbid : Well I never even knew that there were fans of DP in Persia...and to them my greatest thanks....yes I have a few bands that I listen to occasionally here and than...but i will not mention them for the sake of keeping the underground underground......
RH- : well it will be long list haha: Trist, Happy Days, Shining, Darkthrone, Gallhammer, The Cure, Fields of the nephilim, Nuit Noire, Woods of infinity, LIK, Code, Forgotten Tomb, Avinar, Heirdrain, Burzum, Dissection, A waste of talent, hatepulse, carpathian forest, zyklon-b, destroyer 666, katharsis, Aras, MonumentuM, Cultus sanguine, lifelover, Shab, Ved buens ende, fleurety, hypothermia, life neglected, kyla, Nattefrost, Secht, Krohm , black funeral, Armagedda and many many more.
And what about fans in Persia. What can i say. This is very very old historical place and when people from Persia likes our music it means we are pretty special... im glad that my words are spread over misanthropic great vast areas of Persia. My respect!

Misty-Graveyard : At the end, tell us about your future activities and also Deep-Pression upcoming album(s). (Morbid & RH)
Morbid : Like I said....We work silently.....
RH- : my future activities will be some artworks for bands... i hope that 2008 will be as good as 2007 about the covers. Maybe I will make covers for new albums of Forgotten Tomb and Black Funeral... we shall see... Deep-Pression will record 3rd album in 2008 and at the beginning of the year we have in plans making 5th single called “mornings are hell”, lyric is written almost...we have no title for 3rd album. First idea was to call it “love cant save the dead” but i wont use it and my ideas have changed a lot...

Misty-Graveyard : Thanks for your time. The last words are yours. (RH & Morbid)
Morbid : ... . .  .
RH- : thank You too. My regards to those who feel cold stream of Deep-pression in their veins...
